We spent Christmas Eve at my mom's house where we had a huge dinner and played games. It was a night that I would call... eventful. I'll just leave it at that!
Christmas day my mom's family has the tradition of volunteering at the Salvation Army and bringing dinner to the residents there.

We helped with that then grabbed Watson and took him to my dad's house. After hanging out there for a couple hours we went to my cousin Dustin's house where my dad's family was gathered. We not only celebrated Christmas, but my great-grandma Jennie's 94th birthday.

Our plans to travel to Pennsylvania to visit Kent and Hope fell through. This was very sad, but a very agreeable alternative awaited us in Chicagoland. We spent New Year's with the whole of Kyle's mom's side of the family and celebrated Christmas, New Year's, and Aunt Stacy and Uncle Toby's going away to Italy where they will be stationed for the next three years. It was a grand old time except that Watson was bad, Mama Bass was very sick, and Kent and Hope were absent.

Hope you had a fantastic holiday season and that the new year is treating you well so far!
